Navigating Workplace Conflict? We Can Help.
Accord Solutions Group, PLLC is a multidisciplinary law firm that helps to prevent workplace conflict from turning into costly legal disputes.
Whether you are a manager, executive, human resources professional, in-house attorney, outside counsel, start-up investor, or any other participant in today’s business environment, you likely find yourself navigating workplace conflict on a regular basis.
While conflict is a natural part of human interaction, unaddressed workplace conflict can detract from productivity, undermine employee morale and work satisfaction, increase employee turnover, and lead to litigation. See the statistics here.
The earlier that conflict can be addressed, the more likely the intervention will be to succeed and the less collateral damage will result.
Our multidisciplinary team draws on backgrounds in employment law, human resources, ethics, management, communication, compliance, coaching, investigations, organizational development, and more, to help you prevent and address workplace conflict. We provide legal services, as well as “law-related services.” (Learn more about this distinction here.)
Hire us to help resolve a particular conflict or partner with us under a customized plan to meet the ongoing conflict prevention and management needs of your organization.
Our Services
Legal Consultations: Our attorney, Shaunda McNeill, provides legal advice regarding conflict facing organizations. After meeting with a company representative, she will provide a legal assessment, with recommendations to mitigate legal risk. She will also help you create a legally compliant plan to get your team back to work. Common use cases: internal sexual harassment complaints, other internal harassment and discrimination complaints, generational conflict, interpersonal conflict between individuals in different protected classes. Learn more.
Privileged Investigations: We conduct privileged internal investigations and advise companies based on our findings and legal analysis. We conduct these investigations with an understanding of how an investigation affects victims, accused individuals, workplace morale, and workplace productivity. Common use cases: internal sexual harassment complaints, other internal harassment and discrimination complaints, ethics complaints, suspected employee fraud or embezzlement. Learn more.
Mediation: Applying transformative mediation principles to workplace conflict, we help team members emerge from conflict with stronger working relationships, higher morale, and increased productivity. Mediation communications are protected by statutory privilege, generally preventing any information disclosed in mediation from being used in litigation. Common use cases: co-founder/partner disputes, compensation disputes, disputes in which a party has retained counsel and/or threatened litigation. Learn more.
Conflict Coaching and Support: Coaching can be provided to two or more individuals who find themselves in conflict, as an informal alternative to mediation. Coaching can also be provided one-on-one to employees or managers seeking to build their communication skills or receive advice about a conflict they are experiencing in their workplace. Common use cases: employee-manager conflict, dysfunction within the executive suite, friction between teams that need to support one another, identity-based conflict (e.g. generational differences). Learn more.
Process Review and System Design: For business owners and leaders wanting to take a more systemic approach to conflict management, we can help you improve your conflict resolution processes, systems, and incentives. Learn more.
Educational and Training Programs: We offer training to equip your team for success and prevent future conflict. We can also prepare custom presentations to meet the needs of your organization. Learn more.
